Compatibility

Fits BMW 5 Series Gran Turismo F07 models from 2009 to 2017 with passive suspension. Suitable for cars with M-Technology or M Sport chassis. Not suitable for vehicles with Electronic Damper Control or adaptive damping. If your car has adaptive suspension, contact us for guidance before ordering.

Why enthusiasts choose this B8

Short-stroke sports dampers like the B8 are the ideal match for lowered springs. By keeping the suspension in the optimal working range, they reduce float, tighten turn-in and keep the body flat through quick direction changes. Expect better high-speed stability, cleaner weight transfer and a composed ride on British roads.

We have fitted these on customer F07 cars and the feedback is consistently positive - crisper steering, more grip and a premium feel that lasts.

Best practice

• Replace in axle pairs for balanced performance
• Book a full alignment after installation to protect tyres and maximise results
